Choose a 9:50am or 1:30pm sightseeing cruise, then hop into your boat at Tomnahurich Bridge in Inverness to begin your tour. Cruise gently through the Caledonian Canal and Loch Dochfour, then head onward into the open waters of Loch Ness — widely considered the most famous of all Scotland’s lakes.

With your skipper at the helm, enjoy uninterrupted views over the Loch Ness shoreline from your vantage point on the water, and capture the scenery on camera. Along the way, gain insight into the legends of Loch Ness and watch the on-board sonar for sightings of Nessie!

Gaze out over the 13th- to 16th-century ruins of Urquhart Castle — nestled on the banks of Loch Ness — and enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks and light snacks on board (own expense).

Please note: This cruise is suitable for wheelchair users and anyone with restricted mobility, but there are some fairly steep steps to the toilet on board.
